Troup County, located in the great state of Georgia, was established on June 9, 1825. Named in honor of George Michael Troup, a three-term U.S. congressman, Senator, and 32nd Governor of Georgia, the county is an integral part of the LaGrange, Georgia Micropolitan Statistical Area. LaGrange, the county seat, was named after the French estate of the Marquis de Lafayette, a general who assisted the American Revolution.
One of the most notable events in Troup County's history is the settlement of West Georgia by European Americans, following the cession of the Creek Indian lands in 1826. A significant moment in this process was the signing of the First Treaty of Indian Springs, in which Chief William McIntosh ceded territory to the state of Georgia. This event laid the foundation for Troup County's development into an agricultural hub, with large plantations and smaller farms profiting from the fertile red clay soil.
As part of the Deep South, Troup County had a history of enslavement, with many families owning African American slaves who worked the plantations. When the Civil War broke out, the county saw its young men leave to fight for the Confederate cause. With the end of the war and the abolition of slavery, Troup County and its citizens had to adapt to a new way of life in the Reconstruction Era, eventually embracing industry alongside agriculture.
Today, Troup County is a diverse and thriving area. Its many attractions include the Biblical History Center, a living museum that showcases life during biblical times; the Callaway Gardens, a beautiful resort and botanical garden; and West Point Lake, a popular destination for fishing and outdoor recreation.
Fun fact: Troup County is home to the "world's largest" La-Z-Boy recliner, which is located in LaGrange's La-Z-Boy Furniture Gallery. This enormous chair, which measures 40 feet long, 31 feet high, and 30 feet wide, has been a quirky roadside attraction since 1976.
